RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JAMB SCORE AND SCREENING SCORE ⏩ Let this be clear — what determines your chances of being admitted is your screening score, not your JAMB score. Yes, JAMB is important, but it only helps you qualify to apply. What truly matters for admission is your screening percentage. The higher your screening score, the higher your chances of gaining admission. 🎯 WHAT’S THE ROLE OF JAMB SCORE THEN? Your JAMB score is like a boundary — it shows whether you’re qualified to apply for a course or not. Example: • UNIOSUN general cut-off mark is 160 • But for Medicine, Law, Islamic Studies, and Nursing, the cut-off mark is 200 👉 This means: • If you scored below 160, you can’t apply at all to UNIOSUN. • If you want to apply for Medicine, Law, Islamic Studies or Nursing, and you don’t have at least 200, you can’t register for the screening form. The moment you pay and try to register, if you don’t meet the JAMB requirement, the system will automatically tell you: “Not eligible because of low JAMB score.” 🧠 BUT AFTER THAT, IT’S ALL ABOUT SCREENING SCORE Once you’ve registered successfully, your chance of getting admission depends on your screening score and how competitive your course is. Someone with 200 in JAMB and 73% screening score has higher chances of being admitted than someone with 250 in JAMB but only 60% screening score. It’s not just about JAMB — it’s about total performance. 🆚 COURSE COMPETITION MATTERS TOO Let me give you another example. Someone might apply for Geology with a screening score of 50% and still get admitted. But another person with 70% might apply for Medical Laboratory Science (MLS) and not get admitted. Why? Because some courses are more competitive than others. Each department has a quota — a limited number of students they can admit. ⚠️ MEETING THE CUT-OFF DOESN’T GUARANTEE ADMISSION Let’s say you applied for Pharmacology, and the cut-off mark for merit is 60%. UNIOSUN wants to admit 300 students into that department. Now imagine: • 250 people scored 68% and above • 30 people scored 65% • 40 people scored 63% • 100 people scored between 60%–62% You scored 60%, you met the merit cut-off, but guess what? They might still not pick you — why? Because: • They’ll give about 70% preference to merit candidates • And 30% to indigenes and catchment area candidates So even if you meet the cut-off, you might not get in if other people scored higher than you. ⸻ 🎤 BOTTOM LINE 👉 JAMB score helps you qualify. 👉 Screening score determines your admission chances. 👉 Course competitiveness matters. 👉 Meeting the cut-off doesn’t always mean admission. 👉 At the end of the day, just pray for grace. 🙏
